Not-so-trick question: what would a compass do there? I imagine it would point at magnetic south, which is a different place (usually). What if you were standing right over the top of magnetic south, though ... would the compass just keep spinning around?

Another thing I've wondered is what the sun looks like from the South Pole on (their) first day of summer, which is coming up next week (December 22nd). I think maybe the sun just "walks around" about 23.5 degrees (the planet's tilt angle) above the horizon without ever setting, and then starts spiraling down the next day.
